Mulvane High

Summary:

Mulvane High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 556 students in Mulvane, Kansas, which is part of the Mulvane School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in proficiency rates for core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Mulvane High's academic performance has been a concern, with 10th-grade proficiency rates in 2023-2024 at 20.27% in ELA and 16.65% in Math, compared to the state averages of 27.57% and 21.31%, respectively. The school's performance also varies among different student subgroups, with male students and students with disabilities performing relatively well, while female students, Hispanic students, and white students have struggled. Mulvane High's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 54th out of 314 Kansas high schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 228th out of 318 in the current 2023-2024 school year.

Interestingly, Mulvane High's performance is generally lower than that of nearby high schools, such as Douglass High and Udall High, which have higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. Additionally, Mulvane High's spending per student ($9,650 in 2018-2019) is lower than the state average, which may contribute to its academic challenges. The school's growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates increasing from 29.66% in 2021-2022 to 37.59% in 2022-2023, is another factor that may be impacting its performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
